Property description

A Grade II listed former public house, The Old Rising Sun, now a five bedroom house with private enclosed gardens, and annexe potential converting the garage which has a sixth bedroom over.

The property is thought to date from the 1740s and has 3,305 sq. ft. of accommodation set over three floors and including the garage. It has been improved by the current owners while retaining many character features including inglenook fireplaces, latch and brace doors, and exposed beams, brick and stone work. The ground floor has underfloor heating, three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, and a cloakroom. There is also a ground floor bedroom and a shower room. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, an en suite shower room and a four piece family bathroom. The second floor has two further double bedrooms. There is also a room over the garage which is currently being used as a snug but which could be used as a sixth bedroom or as part of an annexe. There are two garden areas: one is a brick paved courtyard with a store and the other is mainly laid to lawn with a patio and established beds and borders.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The kitchen/breakfast room has a comprehensive range of base and wall units with an inset Perrin and Rowe double sink and quartz work surfaces incorporating a breakfast bar. The appliances include a Neff dishwasher, an oven, a microwave and an induction hob. A Fisher and Paykel American fridge/freezer is also available by separate negotiation.

Reception Rooms

The sitting room and family room both retain character features including exposed timbers and Inglenook fireplaces with Bressumer beams.
